- I am a Registered Paramedic, with a degree in Paramedic Science. I work for Central London. I have been involved in pre-hospital care at every level (including the army)since 1992. This diary reflects my daily routine in my own words, as accurately and honestly as possible. It does not purport to reflect the views of my employer. I cannot identify patients or locations and may change certain facts in order to protect patient confidentiality and I hope you understand why that needs to be done.

I've only once attended A&E on a Friday night, and I was stone cold sober. I think I was the only non-staff member who wasn't pissed. I was treated sooooo well. Five months pregnant + dodgy ankle had led to a wee tumble down the stairs, then a taxi ride to hospital. I did get a telling off for that, they said I should have called an ambulance. I felt like enough of a fraud being there without arriving in a big white van! I was never so glad to leave somewhere in my life. It was like a war zone, and the staff have my respect for keeping their cool.
I reckon a form of this letter should become the standard advert of the NHS.
There could be a load of them, read out over the radio or on tv, because this really makes a good hard hitting point.
I'm not sure it would change much, but its a better effort than many other NHS/Governments initiatives!
Powerful letter - maybe drunks should be made to copy it out 100 times, to help them get the message.
V.V. Well written!
That was an extremely good letter! Stuart, you and Kat should be Ministers for A&E!
I know its overdue but thank you for the link. Its always nice to be appreciated.
